Synopsis
"The Supply Chain Council (SCC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing best practices in supply chain management. But until now, there have been no books available based on these preferred techniques. Supply Chain Excellence gives professionals implementing new supply chain projects a clear, step-by-step guide to adopting the accepted and proven methodologies developed by the SCC. This book uses the council’s Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model, showing readers how they can:
* align strategy, material, workflow and information
* conduct the proper competitive analysis to define business opportunity
* establish the metrics that will determine the project’s level of success
* gain internal support by educating employees and executives
Using a unique SCOR Project Roadmap, Supply Chain Excellence is an instruction manual for achieving supply chain success."
